You can also set "sendmail-path" in your .pinerc file to use "ssmtp -t".
That's not particularly useful, but if you write a little script to 
queue outgoing mail and set "sendmail-path=/path/to/queuemail", and 
then have a separate script run regularly to try to send the queued 
mail using ssmtp -t, you have a nice way to use Pine offline.
